I saw Tom Merton at Yonkers tonight, and he said the horsemen are complaining about no outrider at Monticello.

My bet is the track says it costs money, take it out of the purse account or horsemen's association. Bottom line is it is dangerous not having that help on the track for a lengthy list of reasons. They want higher purses, they also need an outrider. Who's gonna pay.

I'm sure you did. This happened tonight. Just like harness racing, kill them for your entertainment. How's that horse that got loose yesterday at Monticello nobody is talking about?
Here's another one dead in Central Park tonight.

I’m not sure we needed a second thread about this breaking news.

You need EPO at Monticello??

They won half their starts today. So either they don't care or they're just crushing them up there. Question is, what's anyone gonna do about it? I haven't heard of anyone up there complaining to Shawn Wiles or Eric Warner, the people who welcomed them in. I do know one person who actually did. And got no response.

It always amazed me how some trainers think they are in charge when it comes to decisions about a horse they don’t own. When trainers forget that’s when problems start.

Define decisions?

Vet work?

Driver choices?

Other?
